The Real Pod: The real experts* weigh in on the MAFSNZ carnage

How is Married at First Sight NZ getting better and worse at the same time? Jane Yee, Duncan Greive and Alex Casey hit the therapist’s couch to find out.

The reality TV “experts” at The Real Pod’s eyes were bulging like the biceps on a genetic pitbull at the explosive MAFSNZ dinner party this week. No one (literally no one) understands who DMed who, which made who tell who what in which toilet – but it made for incredible TV.

Vicky played puppet master to Hayden and Ben, who went at it finger and guns, while Andrew and Aaron watched as the last pretences of normalcy in their relationships were left torn to shreds like a pair of excessively distressed jeans. Jane, Alex and Duncan spend 45 minutes on the therapists’ couch reliving it all and wondering where this amazing and cursed show heads from here.
